Question: ( 1 5 points ) A 1 - in . 1 6 BWG copper tube has its outside surface maintained at 2 4 0 F

(15 points) A 1-in.16 BWG copper tube has its outside surface maintained at 240F. If this tube is placed in still air at 60F, what heat flux will be achieved if the tube is oriented:
a) Horizontally?
b) Vertically?
Note: Use the natural convection relations for the Nusselt Number given in Chapter 20 for varied geometries to find 'h' for both conditions and then find heat flux. Use Appendix I to find fluid properties such as k,g**22, Pr, etc. at film temperature
